ABSTRACT

Purpose:

Analyze the effect of some measures on the costs of bariatric surgery, adopting as reference the remuneration of the procedure provided by the Unified Health System (SUS).

Methods:

A retrospective evaluation conducted in the Costs Section of the University Hospital of Ribeirão Preto, of the costs involved in the perioperative period for patients submitted to bariatric surgery from 2004 to 2007. Changes in the routines and protocols of the service aiming at the reduction of these costs during the study period were also analyzed.

RESULTS:

Nine patients in 2004 and seven in 2007 submitted to conventional vertical banded "Roux-en-Y" gastric bypass were studied. All patients presented good postoperative evolution. The average cost with these patients was R$ 6,845.17 in 2004. Even though an effort was made to contain expenditures, the cost in 2007 was of R$ 7,525.64 because of the increase in the price of materials and medicines. The Government remuneration of the procedure in the two years was R$ 3,259.72.

Conclusion:

Despite the adoption of diverse measures to reduce the expenditures of bariatric surgery, in fact there was an increase in the costs, a fact supporting the necessity of permanent evaluation of the financing of public health.
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar os efeitos de algumas providências para reduzir os custos da cirurgia bariátrica, adotando como referência a remuneração do procedimento pelo Sistema Único de Saúde.

Métodos:

Análise retrospectiva, junto a Seção de Custos do Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto, dos gastos com os pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica nos anos de 2004 e em 2007, após a adoção de rotinas e protocolos, no intervalo destes anos, na perspectiva de obter redução das despesas.

Resultados:

Nove pacientes no ano de 2004 e sete no ano de 2007, submetidos à derivação gástrica em "Y de Roux" com anel por via convencional, foram estudados. Todos pacientes apresentaram boa evolução pós- operatória. O custo médio com estes pacientes no ano de 2004 foi de R$ 6.845,17. Apesar do esforço na contenção de despesas, o custo no ano de 2007 foi de R$ 7.525,64, por conta do aumento do preço de materiais e medicamentos. A remuneração do procedimento pelo SUS nos dois anos foi de R$ 3.259,72.

Conclusão:

Apesar da adoção de diversas medidas para reduzir as despesas da cirurgia bariátrica, houve aumento dos custos, o que reforça a necessidade de avaliação permanente do financiamento da prestação de serviço para o SUS pelos três entes da federação.
